  RE: https://mastodon.scot/@cmniciosaig/117010933339959229 Well done! Hamburg Zoo seemingly alphabetises its animals, having otters share an enclosure with the orangutans. Otter butt disappearing into the water bottom right. Edit: its for it's. I'm not a barbarian.

  Went out to see if I could see any meteors from tonight's twin shower before I went to bed. One decent, slow-mover, but no fireballs as such. Meanwhile, my wife diligently locked up... and bolted the door I'd gone out of. *ring* *ring* *ring* *ring* "Hello?" "Gonnae let me back in the house...?"

  Picked up a couple of errors in a student tutorial that a colleague asked me to review. He responded: "Thanks. That's the trouble with using Chat GPT to generate something, then having to check it over...." Yikes. Needless to say, I will be writing my own material if I end up covering the session in the future.

  Like a faint voice on the edge of hearing.... Like wind whispering in the night, tantalising with the promise of secrets to be revealed.. Like an echo in the mind, reverberating down the ages from the dawn of consciousness.... someone on this train is playing Freestyler by Bomfunk MC's just a little too loudly on their headphones.

  RIP Sam Neill. You made some amazing films: Hunt for the Wilderpeople will forever be one of my favourites, but it's just one highlight of so many. Red October, Jurassic Park, Event Horizon, The Dish, etc, etc.

  I was not previously aware that David Attenborough commissioned Monty Python, amongst many other programmes (I knew about the snooker thing).

  Thought for the day: It boils my piss that to get a search on Google without AI, you need to add "-ai". The default should be without AI. If you want to add slop, you deserve to be forced to type "+ai", or possibly "+bullshit".
